Is Earth's inner core solid or liquid? While the inner core is extremely hot, experts have known that it is solid for many ...
A gold reservoir is hidden in Earth's core and it's leaking into the mantle, says new study A new study claims that Earth is receiving some very valuable gifts from deep under the surface. Analysis of ...
The Earth is predicted to make its fastest rotations on July 9, July 10, July 22 and August 5, according to a Time and Date ...
The spinning of Earth’s inner core is slowing down. Is this how it all ends? The movement of Earth’s inner core is slowing. Nobody can say why.
Earth’s inner core isn’t just slowing; it’s also shape-shifting, study finds A new study from USC scientists reveals Earth’s inner core is undergoing structural transformation.
A ‘ghost plume’ identified deep in the mantle beneath Oman suggests there may be more heat flowing out of Earth’s core than previously thought ...
Earth's inner core is undergoing structural transformation. Located 3,000 miles below the Earth's surface, the inner core is anchored by gravity within the molten liquid outer core. Until now the ...
Earth’s core is apparently a bit leakier than scientists expected. In a new study published in Nature, researchers describe evidence that traces of precious metals from Earth’s metallic core ...
Earth’s core is pretty dynamic. Its spin speeds up and slows down based on how its two primary layers are behaving. As we improve the waveform techniques used to study the deepest layer ...
While it's unlikely the deep-buried treasure chest will ever be cracked open, scientists call the discovery significant.
Mantle plumes are important geologic processes—they interact with plate tectonics, create rich mineral deposits, and even ...
Earth's rotation has sped up, causing shorter days. Astrophysicist Graham Jones predicts the next shortest day is around the ...
